Аннотация:The structure of the proton sublattice of ice at an ice-metal interface is analyzed by solving the Ginzburg-Landau equation for an order parameter describing the proton ordering under an appropriate boundary condition [1, 2]. When the interaction between protons and the substrate is weak, the ice rules that govern proton order are weaker at the interface as compared to bulk ice, but to a lesser extent than at the free ice surface. In the case of strong proton-substrate interaction (clean interface and/or high conductivity of the substrate), the ice rules are stronger at the interface as compared to bulk ice, which corresponds to a more ordered proton sublattice. The latter case corresponds to a lower concentration of defects in
the proton sublattice, which determine important properties of ice, such as adhesion, electrical conductivity, plasticity, and electric field distribution near the interface. A qualitative correlation is described between electrical properties of the substrate and mechanical properties of the interface, including adhesion and friction.
